> Musk wrote, “Only by protesting REPEATEDLY and LOUDLY will there be any change!!”

I'm certainly not defending the man, but that comment to me is definitely not plainly seen as "advocating riots"... I'd call that a very disingenuous stretch of the truth.

If we're going to criticize people, I think we need to do it for the right reasons.
